Does light travel faster through water or glass?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: The refractive index or n shows the relationship between c and the speed v when light travels through a material. The equation is n=c/v. In water, the refractive index is 1.3 and in glass, it is 1.5. Therefore, light travels faster through water, than it travels through glass.

I need help with this please

kondaur [170]

Answer:

1. The respiratory system functions when our involuntary nervous system sends impulses to the muscles in the diaphragm; thereby, causing the lungs to expand and contract.

2. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood which is vital for bodily function as oxygenated blood is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, to be circulated throughout the body. Furthermore deoxygenated blood is carried back to the right side of your heart to get oxygenated once more.

3. The other body systems that are crucial for the lungs to function are the nervous system and the muscular system.

4. without the raspatory system the body wouldn't receive any oxygen and the brain would slowly die. therefore, without the brain the heart would stop functioning and atrophy etc.

If the angular velocity of the pully is -8.4rad/s at a given time, and its anglar acceleration is -2.8rad/s2, what is the angula

snow_lady [41]

Here we know that

$\omega_i = - 8.4 rad/s$

$\alpha = - 2.8 rad/s^2$

$t = 1.5 s$

now from kinematics we have

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

now from above all values we have

$\omega_f = (-8.4 rad/s) + (-2.8 rad/s^2)(1.5)$

$\omega_f = -8.4 + (-4.2)$

$\omega_f = -12.6 rad/s$

so final angular speed is -12.6 rad/s

An object whose specific gravity is 0.850 is placed in water. What fraction of the object is below the surface of the water?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

$specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3$

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

$= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}$

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
